Interviewer instructions
Determine the age of each household member by asking the respondent "What is ____'s age as of his/her last birthday?". Always ask the age of the person even if the date of birth is already given. Do not compute the person's age from the reported date of birth.

Enter in column 4 the age of each member in completed years as of last birthday. For infants less than one year, enter 00. If the respondent estimates the age of a person in multiple of 5 and 10 as for example "around 70" or "85", try to ascertain as much as possible, the nearest estimate. If age reported is 98 or greater, enter "98" in this column. Enter "DK" if the age can not be estimated or is unknown.
